大麦表型多样性分析及优异饲草种质资源筛选

为探究中国库存大麦种质资源的表型多样性及其变异规律,同时挑选高生物产量的大麦遗传资源发展饲草大麦,本研究以来源于全国不同地区的102份库存高秆大麦种质为材料,通过Shannon-Weaver多样性指数、相关分析、聚类分析、主成分分析等方法对15个表型性状进行综合评价。结果表明:15个性状中拔节期底部叶片黄化、倒伏性、灌浆期底部叶片黄化、千粒重变异较大,粒宽、株高变异较小,表型多样性指数范围为0.729～0.957,皮裸性、千粒重、籽粒周长、灌浆期株高等性状的遗传多样性较高。不同来源种质间表型多样性比较结果表明,冬大麦生态区表型多样性(0.721)高于西南及青藏高原裸大麦生态区(0.706)。相关分析、主成分分析、聚类分析均表明,皮裸性是影响大麦种质表型差异的重要影响因素,而倒伏、拔节期和灌浆期底部叶片黄化等饲草相关性状相对独立。聚类分析将102份种质分为4类,相同来源地的种质聚在一起。本研究结果表明中国库存大麦种质资源具有丰富的表型多样性,从中筛选的高秆、大叶、抗倒伏等优异性状的大麦资源,为后续培育青饲、青贮专用型大麦品种提供了资源保障。

山西葛萝槭天然种群表型多样性研究

为揭示山西葛萝槭种群表型变异程度及变异规律,采用巢式方差分析、主成分分析、相关分析及聚类分析等方法,对天然分布的8个种群的叶片、果实、种子21个表型性状进行表型多样性分析。结果显示:（1)葛萝槭表型性状在种群间和种群内存在着极其丰富的变异。种群间平均表型分化系数(V_ST)为50.16%,与种群内变异(49.84%)相当;表型变异系数（CV）为19.16%,变化幅度7.89%~37.04%,种子性状较果实、叶片性状稳定;8个不同种群的Shannon-Wiener多样性指数为1.692 3,表明葛萝槭种群具有较高的表型多样性。(2)相关性分析表明,葛萝槭表型性状受地理生态因子的影响,种群内表型变异呈梯度性变化,随着经、纬度的增加,叶形逐渐由长卵形向宽卵形变异;随着海拔的升高,果实、种子逐渐减小。(3)利用种群间欧式距离进行系统聚类分析,可以将8个葛萝槭种群分为两大支,表型性状主要依地理距离而聚类。研究表明,葛萝槭种内存在丰富的变异,这与其生物学特性及分布生境密切相关。     

Leaf phenotypic variation in natural populations of Cerasus dielsiana

为揭示中国特有植物尾叶樱桃(Cerasus dielsiana)在现代核心分布区天然种群的叶表型地理变异规律及其生态适应性特征, 该研究通过多重比较、巢氏方差分析、相关性分析、主成分分析(PCA)、主坐标分析(PCoA)、非加权配对算术平均法(UPGMA)聚类分析等数理方法, 对来自四川、湖北、湖南、江西、台湾5省8个尾叶樱桃天然种群的11个叶表型性状进行了比较分析, 研究其不同地理单元间叶表型多样性和地理变异规律及对地理气候的响应。结果显示: 1)尾叶樱桃主要叶表型性状变异在种群内和种群间均存在显著差异, 平均变异系数为22.44%, 其中变异系数最大和最小的分别为叶面积(50.83%)与一级侧脉数(7.96%); 平均叶表型性状的分化系数为30.78%, 种群内的变异(51.55%)大于种群间的变异(22.55%)。2) PCA表明对尾叶樱桃叶表型性状变异起主要贡献作用的前三大主成分累计贡献率达到92.400%, 可以综合概括和排序为“大小性状” (73.242%)与“形状性状” (19.158%)。3)叶宽(r = -0.641)、叶面积(r = -0.658)和一级侧脉数(r = 0.659)性状均与经度呈显著负相关或正相关关系, 气温季节变化和最湿季降水量对叶表型性状变异影响较大。4)基于PCoA和UPGMA聚类分析可将8个天然种群划分为4类。尾叶樱桃天然种群叶表型性状变异丰富, 在数量上表现出一定的连续性, “大小性状”是性状间变异的主要来源, 平均表型分化处于中等程度水平, 种群内是叶表型性状变异的主要来源; 各种群间表型分化划分结果与地理位置基本一致, 在地理空间上呈现以经度为主的梯度变异模式, “气候变异性”与“展叶期降水量”是驱动叶表型性状变异的主要气候因子, 推测这是尾叶樱桃在长期进化中与亚热带季风气候环境相适应的结果。     

北沙柳种质资源居群表型多样性

该研究采用单因素方差分析、巢式方差分析、群落多样性指数分析等方法,以国家北沙柳种质资源库内13个居群的494个无性系为实验材料,通过表型性状(叶面积、叶周长、叶柄长、叶长、叶宽、长宽比、开枝角度、株高和地径)比较分析,探讨居群间和居群内表型分化程度、表型多样性和地理变异,为北沙柳种质资源遗传改良和生产提供理论依据。结果显示:(1)北沙柳表型性状变异丰富,变异系数范围为17.64%~28.79%,平均为22.53%。(2)在13个居群中,居群P2的Simpson、Shannon和Brilliouin平均多样性指数最高,居群P13最低;表型性状中分枝角度多样性指数最大,地径多样性指数最小。(3)表型性状分化系数为0.265 4,即北沙柳种质资源居群间表型变异为26.54%,居群内表型变异为73.46%。(4)主成分分析表明,叶面积、叶周长、叶长、叶柄长和叶宽对分组的贡献率较大;聚类分析将13个北沙柳居群可划分为四组;Mantel检验表明,地理距离与表型距离(欧氏距离)相关性不显著(r=0.192 3,P=0.082)。研究认为,居群内不同无性系的选育是北沙柳定向育种的主要研究方向;边缘居群的表型性状具有形成地理变异的趋势;遗传多样性高是北沙柳适应性强的物质基础。

茶条槭自然种群种子和果实表型多样性研究

为探析茶条槭(Acer ginnala)种子和果实表型差异程度及变异规律,该研究采用巢式方差分析、主成分分析、聚类分析等方法,对茶条槭主要分布区内7个种群种子和果实的12个表型性状进行比较研究,分析茶条槭种群间和种群内的表型多样性以及与地理生态因子的关系。结果表明:除种子长/宽(SLW)外,其它11个表型性状在茶条槭种群间和种群内均具有显著差异;各性状平均变异系数(CV)为13.90%,变异幅度为8.14%～32.08%;种群间翅果性状的平均变异系数(15.63%)高于种子性状的平均变异系数(8.71%),表明种子性状的稳定性高于果实性状。主成份分析中,果实形态特征对茶条槭种群表型的贡献率大于种子贡献率。种群间表型分化系数为35.47%,说明种群内变异(64.53%)大于种群间变异(35.47%),暗示变异主要来源于种群内变异。茶条槭种子和果实表型性状受地理生态因子影响较小,主要受自身遗传因素的影响。基于种群间欧式距离的聚类分析将茶条槭7个种群分为2大支,没有严格按照地理距离而聚类,表明茶条槭种群表型性状变异的不连续性。茶条槭不同种群种子和果实具有较高的表型多样性,与其分布范围和生物学特性有关。     

中亚热带赤皮青冈天然种群表型多样性分析

Foreign exploration for Scirtothrips perseae Nakahara (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) and associated natural enemies on avocado (Persea americana Miller)

Scirtothrips perseae Nakahara was discovered attacking avocados in California, USA, in 1996. Host plant surveys in California indicated that S. perseae has a highly restricted host range with larvae being found only on avocados, while adults were collected from 11 different plant species. As part of a management program for this pest, a “classical” biological control program was initiated and foreign exploration was conducted to delineate the home range of S. perseae, to survey for associated natural enemies and inventory other species of phytophagous thrips on avocados grown in Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Trinidad, and Brazil. Foreign exploration efforts indicate that S. perseae occurs on avocados grown at high altitudes (>1500 m) from Uruapan in Mexico south to areas around Guatemala City in Guatemala. In Costa Rica, S. perseae is replaced by an undescribed congener as the dominant phytophagous thrips on avocados grown at high altitudes (>1300 m). No species of Scirtothrips were found on avocados in the Dominican Republic, Trinidad, or Brazil. In total, 2136 phytophagous thrips were collected and identified, representing over 47 identified species from at least 19 genera. The significance of these species records is discussed. Of collected material 4% were potential thrips biological control agents. Natural enemies were dominated by six genera of predatory thrips (Aeolothrips, Aleurodothrips, Franklinothrips, Leptothrips, Scolothrips, and Karnyothrips). One genus each of parasitoid (Ceranisus) and predatory mite (Balaustium) were found. Based on the results of our sampling techniques, prospects for the importation of thrips natural enemies for use in a “classical” biological control program in California against S. perseae are not promising.     

Phylogeny of cardinalfishes (Teleostei: Gobiiformes: Apogonidae) and the evolution of visceral bioluminescence

The cardinalfishes (Apogonidae) are a diverse clade of small, mostly reef-dwelling fishes, for which a variety of morphological data have not yielded a consistent phylogeny. We use DNA sequence to hypothesize phylogenetic relationships within Apogonidae and among apogonids and other acanthomorph families, to examine patterns of evolution including the distribution of a visceral bioluminescence system. In conformance with previous studies, Apogonidae is placed in a clade with Pempheridae, Kurtidae, Leiognathidae, and Gobioidei. The apogonid genus Pseudamia is recovered outside the remainder of the family, not as sister to the superficially similar genus Gymnapogon. Species sampled from the Caribbean and Western Atlantic (Phaeoptyx, Astrapogon, and some Apogon species) form a clade, as do the larger-bodied Glossamia and Cheilodipterus. Incidence of visceral bioluminescence is found scattered throughout the phylogeny, independently for each group in which it is present. Examination of the fine structure of the visceral bioluminescence system through histology shows that light organs exhibit a range of morphologies, with some composed of complex masses of tubules (Siphamia, Pempheris, Parapriacanthus) and others lacking tubules but containing chambers formed by folds of the visceral epithelium (Acropoma, Archamia, Jaydia, and Rhabdamia). Light organs in Siphamia, Acropoma, Pempheris and Parapriacanthus are distinct from but connected to the gut; those in Archamia, Jaydia, and Rhabdamia are simply portions of the intestinal tract, and are little differentiated from the surrounding tissues. The presence or absence of symbiotic luminescent bacteria does not correlate with light organ structure; the tubular light organs of Siphamia and chambered tubes of Acropoma house bacteria, those in Pempheridae and the other Apogonidae do not.     

Biological control of three floating water weeds,<Emphasis Type="Italic">Eichhornia crassipes,Pistia stratiotes</Emphasis>, and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Salviniamolesta</Emphasis> in the Republic of Congo

Since 1999, four specific weevils (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) were released in the Republic of Congo against three exotic floating water weeds: Neochetina eichhorniae Warner and N. bruchi Hustache against water hyacinth, Neohydronomus affinis Hustache against water lettuce, and Cyrtobagous salviniae Calder and Sands against water fern. Recoveries of exotic weevils were made from all 24 release sites except one, and all four species have established and spread (up to 800 km for water hyacinth weevils). Within a few years of releases, control of water fern and water lettuce was such that fishing and navigation could be resumed, while reductions of water hyacinth populations were only beginning.     

A molecular phylogeny of Hebeloma species from Europe

In order to widen the scope of existing phylogenies of the ectomycorrhizal agaric genus Hebeloma a total of 53 new rDNA ITS sequences from that genus was generated, augmented by sequences retrieved from GenBank, and analysed using Bayesian, strict consensus and neighbour joining methods. The lignicolous Hebelomina neerlandica, Gymnopilus penetrans, and two species of Galerina served as outgroup taxa. Anamika indica, as well as representatives of the genera Hymenogaster and Naucoria, were included to test the monophyly of Hebeloma, which is confirmed by the results. Hebeloma, Naucoria, Hymenogaster and Anamika indica cluster in a strongly supported monophyletic hebelomatoid clade. All trees largely reflect the current infrageneric classification within Hebeloma, and divide the genus into mostly well-supported monophyletic groups surrounding H. crustuliniforme, H. velutipes, H. sacchariolens, H. sinapizans, and H. radicosum, with H. sarcophyllum being shown at an independent position; however this is not well supported. The section Indusiata divides with strong support into three groups, the position of the pleurocystidiate Hebeloma cistophilum suggests the possible existence of a third subsection within sect. Indusiata. Subsection Sacchariolentia is raised to the rank of section.     

Taxonomic status of the species of the green algal genusNeochloris

Komárek has recently reviewed the various species assigned to the green algal genusNeochloris Starr (Chlorococcales, Chlorococcaceae) and removed those with uninucleate vegetative cells to a new genus,Ettlia. Watanabe & Floyd, unaware ofKomárek's work, also reviewed the species ofNeochloris and distributed them among three genera—Neochloris, Chlorococcopsis gen. nov., andParietochloris gen. nov.—on the basis of details of the covering of the zoospore and the arrangement of the basal bodies of the flagellar apparatus. This paper reconciles these two treatments and makes additional recommendations at the ranks of genus, family, order, and class.     

Die GattungKarschia — Bindeglied zwischen bitunicaten Ascomyceten und lecanoralen Flechtenpilzen?

The genusKarschia, in the earlier sense, including saprophytes and parasites on lichens, has been thought to be a non-lichenized parallel genus of the lichen genusBuellia. Modern workers included it on the one hand inBuellia, on the other hand combined it with bitunicate ascomycetes. It is now proved thatKarschia is heterogeneous and contains but superficially similar members both of the genusBuellia of theLecanorales and of typical or masked bitunicateAscomycetes. Therefore, it can not be regarded as a link betweenLecanorales andDothideales. The type species ofKarschia belongs to theDothideales.

     

Demographic characteristics of an intertidal bay goby (Lepidogobius lepidus)

Synopsis In a fourteen month study (May 1976 – June 1977) I examined the following characteristics of an intertidal bay goby (Lepidogobius lepidus) in Morro Bay, California, U.S.A.: annual and seasonal patterns of abundance, age composition and growth rates, survivorship and mortality patterns, and the reproductive cycle for female gobies. Fishes were collected with the aid of quinaldine and otoliths and ovaries removed. Age and growth rates were estimated from otolith annuli using a back calculation formula and a Brody-Bertalanffy growth curve. Mortality rates were derived using the methods of Heincke (1913), Robson & Chapman (1960), mean age, and a catch curve (Ricker 1975). A gonad index was used to describe the annual reproductive cycle. Results indicated that abundance fluctuated seasonally and that these fluctuations appeared to be caused by reproductive emigrations. Bay gobies reached an age of 7+ and a standard length of 87 mm. Growth was relatively constant (6 mm yr⁻¹) until age 5, at which point it began to decline. The mean rates of survivorship, mortality, and instantaneous mortality were 0.75, 0.25, and 0.29 respectively. Mortality rates for individual age classes ranged from 0.13 to 0.51 and increased with age. This stock appears to reproduce mainly during the winter.     

Systematic significance of mature embryo of bamboos

The mature embryo of seven species belonging to five genera of Indian bamboos is described. In all these the basic pattern of embryo organisation is same: the scutellar and coleoptilar bundles are not separated by an internode, the epiblast is absent, the lower portion of the scutellum and the coleorhiza are separated by a cleft and the margins of embryonic leaves overlap. The features unique to fleshy fruited bamboos are: presence of a massive scutellum, the juxtaposition of plumule and radicle and the occurrence of a bud in the axil of the coleoptile. The fleshy fruit bearing bamboos should be classified into one group, the tribeMelocanneae. Evidence is provided to recognise additional groups in the subfamilyBambusoideae.
